Way too easy and simplistic. What does "grow the game" mean?
And there is absolutely a political and financial element to this. In between USSF and US Club Soccer and Academy and ECNL....not to mention the forward leaning clubs like CESA who are growing independent of SCYS.......
My opinion is that SCYS is well behind the curve. Understanding that and identifying the steps necessary to offer value to its customers.....is what they need to do.
I doubt that very many recreation programs are affiliated with SCYS. Part of the growth....should come from assimilation. Show how you add value.
